With these stinking dragon flies ?? Seriously, they're coming in my house? What attracts them? They are EVERYWHERE !!!

They usually hang out around water sources. We've had tons of them around our pond this year. Had one land on my toe at the waterpark a couple of weeks ago. It is an unusual year for them, perhaps because of the mild winter?

Tons of them out here in the clearing in the woods. They dont enter the house, but live the bright yellow Geo in the driveway. Looks like a aerial battle scene out there, 5-8 of them zooming around. Add in the hummingbirds, and it feels a bit dangerous out that end of the house.

We've had a lot of them too. They're normally plentiful where there's a lot of water or bugs like mosquitoes and gnats (they eat them).

We've had a few. I watched a 3" blue tailed skink run around my deck this afternoon. :lol:

I water a little bit at dusk because I have new plantings in my beds that won't survive the drought if I don't; because I know I need to conserve water. When I turn the hose on (I use shower mode), the dragonflies come out of no where and play in the shower. It is very magical. And, yes, I have found them in the house. I never see them come in. :smile:

They are serious about my house. No we don't live on the water. They are SO bad, I went out back to give my husband water while he was on the mower and they were like dive bombing me. I literally had to put my hands up in my face so I wouldn't get them in my face. They are at the front door too !! NO IDEA...wondering if a bug zapper would work?

I think they are magical too. and have had to rescue 3 or 4 of them that get lost in the garage and can't find their way out. Also have to do that with butterflies that get trapped in the garage.

There were about 40 of them hanging around outside my work last week. Little black and gold ones. Haven't had many at my pond so far.

Why do you want to kill them? They eat mosquitoes and they're not hurting you. :shrug:

It's a little early for the dragonfly migration. It usually happens in the fall.
